[tsteo77]

Found this video about games blowing up nvidia gpus. Watch and share whatever comments you have.
And also i read from some other forum mentioning Gigabyte 3080ti gpu been damage playing Diablo 4.

The notion that a software could potentially damage or expose an issue in particular gpu(s) is really unfortunate.

people avoid amd because of "driver issues" they hear on the internet, but will still happily buy nv despite this kind of serious things.

Rarely people use AMD but like you said, there are still gamers using AMD Radeon GPU which is rare.

seems like the times amd drastically changed architecture (rdna 1 and 3), their drivers buey zhun one. but in my personal experience, my 580 and 3 rdna2 cards that i used in flipping pcs (6600/xt, 6700) were rock solid.

NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti Owners Reporting Bricked Cards During Diablo IV Closed Beta Play Sessions

The Blizzard team has posted a message in the thread, and it offers advice for those affected:

"If your card is still not working, try these troubleshooting steps:

• Conduct a complete power cycle (AC OFF->AC ON) and see if GPU can be detected under Windows.
• If GPU can be found under Windows, do a clean driver install.
• If that doesn't work, please reply and include the following information or logs:

1) GPU card vendor and model number
2) Display resolution when running Diablo IV
3) Display mode (Windowed/Windowed Fullscreen/Fullscreen)
4) Max Foreground FPS, Max Background FPS
5) Diablo IV graphic quality settings, preset with Low/Medium/High.

Or more detail with custom settings."The New World, an MMO produced by Amazon Games, gained unwanted notoriety for its apparent ability to kill the mighty RTX 3090 back in mid-2021.
Blizzard fans with long memories are also recalling that Starcraft 2 was rumored to be a GPU slayer, roughly around the time of the game's launch.
There is early talk of the Diablo IV Beta defaulting to an uncapped frame rate setting, which may send the graphics card into peak performance mode and draw unusually high volumes of power.
Community members are suggesting that it is best to cap frame rates via the in-game menu, and to double-check whether the Max Frame Rate setting is disabled within NVIDA's Control Panel.
